HYDROGENATED-OIL COMPOSITION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

I Patented Aug. 20, 1918.

Ho Drawing. Application filed January 6, 1913, Serial No. 740,416. Renewed August 1, 1916. Serial To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARLE'ION ELLIS, a

' citizen of the United States, and resident of the case of phonograph records some of the disadvantages which have been noted are thoseof not flowing readily when heated, or, ofnot taking a good impression from the matrix, or of not giving a smooth polished article readily freed from air bubbles,or of decomposing badly in hot damp climates. The present invention at least, so far as said records or similar material is concerned has for its object the preparation of products suflieiently or substantially free from these as it were, often overcoming gree a tendency to segregation or piping.

disadvantages, and for the attainment of this object I make use as a basis or' blending homogenizing or protecting material, of hardened or hydrogenated o1l, such for example as may be obtained by treating'certain fatty oils with hydro n-or equivalent material in the presence 0 acatalytic body to efiecta greater or less saturation of said fatty oils. In this manner a body is derived hwhich has a very fine texture and yields a smooth hard surface and enables waxes and resins, metallic soaps-and thelike to be better blended or rendered more homogeneous to a large de- To this end I prepare a hydrogenated oil or fat as by treatment as' aforegaid and carry the hydrogen addition to a high (1 e so i of corn a d cottonseed,

as to produce'bodies of relative hig titre.

Animal, fish or vegetable oils may be treated in this manner, including sperm, menhaden, cod' and cod liver, porgy, whale, corn, a1- mond, ra castor, sesame, olire, soy bean, linseed, inese wood, mustard, cotton seed, tallow, lard and other oils and the like.

A. caster and whale oils, or castor and cotton seed oil forms a desirable basis. Hydrogenation preferably should be carried to a point where the iodin number of the oil or oil mixture is reduced well below 50, preferably to an iodin number of 25 or less. This is desirable because by such extensive hydrogcnation the oil may be freed from components having marked siccative or drying properties and because of the better, blending effect secured in many cases. Instead of hydrogenating the oil may be treated to produce hydroxy lated bodies or mixtures of hydrogenated and hydroxylated bodies and the like.

With the hydrogenated roduct may be incorporated waxes or resins or both, as well as filling materials in some cases. Similarly yarious metallic soaps may be incorporated. Suitable waxes for the purpose are hard paraflin, ceresin, ozocerite, Montan, candelilla, carnauba,shellae, Japan wax, and

Stearic acid also may be incorporated as well as the stearate soaps includ ing those of sodium, zinc, lead, aluminum and other metals. Aluminum and calcium palmitate may be used, also the various resinates. Resins such as the copals, shellac,

pontianak, rosin, dammar, sandarae, etc,

may be employed. Pitches such as steal-in pitch or candle tar are sometimes useful. Filling materials as barytes, terra alba,,talc, clay and the like may be used in some instances also fibrous fillers as asbestos in some cases. The hydrogenated product as well as the other ingredients capable of combining with sulfur may be vulcanizedfor certain purposes.

Solid compositions suitable for making. finoldable articles such as ,phono raph rec ords and the like may be prepare by meltand casting the following lx'ample' 1': Hydrogenated corn oil 10 f parts, sodium stearate 2 parts, stearieacid 5 parts and ceresin wax 3 parts.

Example 2: Hydrogenated fish oil having its iodin number reduced to 15', approxi-' mately 10' parts, hard paraflin 4 parts, '020- cerite' 3 parts, hydrogenated Montan wax 3 'arts and lead steal-ate 1 part.

= xample 3: Hydrogenated cotton seed oil having an acid titre of 59 or 60, approximately 10 parts, Montan wax, 2 parts, copal resin 5 parts, stearic acid 2 parts and pontianakrubberrosinlpgrt. Q

' and hydrogenated Example 4:- Hydrogenated cotton seed oil with an iodin number of 2025, approximately 10 parts, asphalt 2 parts, stearin pitch 5 parts, ozocerite 12 parts.

Example 5: A mixture of equal parts bydrogenated castor'and hydrogenated whale oil' (iodin number of the mixture and a like weight of ceresin.

Example 6: Hydrogenated cotton seed oil of iodin number 25 approximately 7 parts castor oil of iodin number 20 approximately 6 parts, the melting point belng finallyadjustedif required by additions of stearic acid or ceresin.

Example 7 Hydrogenated cotton seed oil admixed inabout equal proportions with bydrogenated corn oil' (iodin number of .the mixture 3.3)- approximately 10 parts with suitable mineral filling material as tale 4 parts.

Example 8:- A mixture of cotton seed oil 2 parts and whale or corn oil 1 part, the mixture being hydrogenated to a fatty acid titre of 60 or higher may be employed.

Hydroxylated oil maylikewise be employed providedthe iodin number is reduce until the characteristics desired in the foregoingare' obtained. An" oil of high iodin number often is unsatisfactory for the present purposes and in. some instances highly detrimental.v In particular it may bestated that the ability ofsome of the highl hydro enated oils having a corresponding y low i in number to melt rather sharply without a protracted stage of viscosity; and the.non-

- necessityof heating to-relatively high temperatures to secure a suitable degree of liquidity or mobility, is of utility in many compositions.

The expression a waxy material as used in the appended claims is intended to cover waxes, inc1uding ceresin, paraffin, ozocerite, carnauba; and equivalents thereof.

This application contains matter broadly disclosed, in the record of my copendingvapplication 808,461, .vi'z.mixtures of solid hy-- drogenated oil with waxy or resinous or pitchy materials;
